(15%) Problem 9: Two planets are on a collision course, heading directly towards each other at a relative speed of 0.245c. Randomized Variables y = 0.245 c u= 0.75 DA A spaceship sent from one planet approaches the second at 0.75c as seen by the second planet. What is the velocity of the ship relative to the first planet? Assume the a velocity directed away from the planet would be considered positive. Grade Summary u'c = Deductions 0% Potential 10096...
Suppose a spaceship heading directly away from the Earth at 0.75c can shoot a canister at 0.35c relative to the ship. Take the direction of motion towards Earth as positive. Randomized Variables V1 = 0.75c V2 = 0.35cPart (a) If the canister is shot directly at Earth, what is the ratio of its velocity as measured on Earth to the speed of light? Part (b) What about if it is shot directly away from the Earth (again, relative to c)?
Suppose a spaceship heading directly away from the Earth at 0.65c can shoot a canister at 0.25c relative to the ship. Take the direction of motion towards Earth as positive. Randomized Variables V1 = 0.65 c V2 = 0.25 cPart (a) If the canister is shot directly at Earth, what is the ratio of its velocity as measured on Earth to the speed of light? Part (b) What about if it is shot directly away from the Earth (again, relative to c)?
Suppose a spaceship heading straight towards the Earth at 0.75c can shoot a canister at 0.55c relative to the ship. Randomized Variablesv1 = 0.75 c v2 = 0.55 c 50% Part (a) If the canister is shot directly at Earth, what is the ratio of its velocity, as measured on Earth, to the speed of light? 50% Part (b) What about if it is shot directly away from the Earth (again, relative to c)?

1. A proton travels directly (head on) towards a stationary lead nucleus, with an initial speed vo, when the proton is a distance xo from the nucleus. It undergoes an acceler- ation of magnitude a k directed away from the nucleus, where is the distance from the proton to the nucleus and k is a positive constant. (Assume the lead nucleus remains stationary throughout.) (a) Give an expression for how the velocity of the proton depends on r. (It will...
